G. Wells is a science fiction novel published in 1896. Shipwrecked scientist Edward Prendick finds himself stranded on a remote island inhabited by Doctor Moreau, a disgraced physiologist conducting horrific experiments. Through vivisection, Moreau transforms animals into human-like creatures called the Beast Folk, who struggle to maintain their humanity under a strict code of laws. As Prendick uncovers the dark secrets of the island, he confronts questions about the boundaries of science, the nature of human identity, and the price of unchecked ambition.
